Arbeloa Replaces Alonso As Real Madrid Head Coach

-

In a swift move, Real Madrid has replaced manager Xabi Alonso with former B team coach and club legend Álvaro Arbeloa, following a Super Cup final loss to Barcelona. Alonso departs after less than eight months, unable to replicate his success at Bayer Leverkusen, with Arbeloa promoted from his role with Castilla to take the helm, reuniting former teammates.

In a separate statement Madrid then announced Arbeloa would take Alonso’s place, without specifying the length of the 42-year-old’s contract.

“Arbeloa has been the coach of Castilla since June 2025 and has developed his entire coaching career in Real Madrid’s academy since 2020,” said Los Blancos.

Key Details:

Xabi Alonso's Departure: The decision came after a disappointing Super Cup final loss to Barcelona, with mutual agreement cited for his exit after a turbulent seven-month spell.

Álvaro Arbeloa's Promotion: Arbeloa, who has coached within Real Madrid's academy and Castilla since 2020, steps up to lead the first team.

Club Legend Transition: Both Alonso and Arbeloa are celebrated former Real Madrid players, with Arbeloa stepping into the role after coaching the B team (Castilla).

Context: The change occurs with Real Madrid second in La Liga and seventh in the Champions League, with Alonso failing to fully translate his Bundesliga success to the Bernabéu.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
